IBEW Local 26

LANHAM-- Rep.-elect Donna Edwards (D-Fort Washington) addressed a large crowd of supporters during a victory rally at the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) Local 26 headquarters in Lanham, this evening.

An upbeat and excited Edwards pledged to "get to work" on a day when she defeated Republican Peter James in a special election to fill the seat vacated by the resignation of Al Wynn.

"We're excited about the victory and Ms. Edwards looks forward to representing the people of Maryland's 4th Congressional District," Edwards' Communications Director Dan Weber told PolitickerMD.com.

U.S. House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Mechanicsville) introduced Edwards, saying he was excited to have her as a "colleague."

Fourth district Democratic nominee Donna Edwards will take in the special election returns tomorrow night at the IBEW Local 26 headquarters in Lanham.

But on the night of the Feb. 12 Democratic primary, she was stationed at the Raddison Hotel in Largo. If you recall, the IBEW was already booked by a guy named Al Wynn.
